Assassination of Sessions Judge Abdul Hakeem Kakar in Mastung was not a random act of insurgent violence. It was a calculated, high-profile strike against the backbone of the judicial system.

Economic Ties, But with Sovereign Realities!
International assessments routinely critique developing nations on civil rights, yet the structural reality of pluralism in Pakistan paints a very different picture. EU’s assessment report is being discussed nowadays about the state of human rights and religious freedom in Pakistan.

GSP+ Assessment & PAK-EU Relations A Strategic Response to the EU Compliance Report 2023-25

Are We Ashamed?
The baseline of international humanitarian law has always rested on a single, unshakeable moral consensus: children must never be targeted.

Weaponising the Indus!
Undoubtedly, the strategic landscape of South Asian hydro-politics is undergoing a dangerous transformation. I visited the Jinnah Convention Center in Islamabad to attend an international seminar on the Indus Waters Treaty on 30th June.

Gaza Continues to Bleed!
There is a hollow, devastating cycle to the grief of our Ummah and our shared humanity. Just as the ink dried on yet another fragile diplomatic agreement, the illusion of safety was shattered. Only days after a framework agreement was signed in Lebanon, the skies above southern towns like Deir Seryan, Taybeh, and Khiam were […]
